Fuck this absolute cunt who’s the biggest drain on society since Nero.

Well, this and to exploit them. Like:

Step 1: exploit vulnerabilities.
Step 2: accuse opponent of exploiting them, lock them up.
Step 3: profit

Mine is similar. I have several Alexas and a Fire tablet, too.

My data is mostly correct and based on my purchase history, with a couple of entries seeming to be inferences based on my history, and most of them are wrong (it thinks I have an infant under 1 year old; no idea why it thinks that). All my entries are pretty boring.

It’s too late for that now.

You know what sucks most about this? We could literally fix many of society’s issues by focussing on education. Hunger, crime, inequality, poverty, climate, population, everything. But that fucks the goals of billionaires, so we won’t.

Malicious and stupid aren’t mutually exclusive, but stupid often leads.

I think it’s simpler than that. They believed their own AI PR bullshit, huffed their own farts, and management thought they could get paid more to do less, offloading decisions.

Don’t ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

TBF, we’re all big bad to each other, because our societies are imploding and we’re all scared.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Pretty sure this is SOP. At least, it was before these idiots took over.

Not sure why this is news, unless this didn’t occur to these morons before now and they think it’s a Very Good, Big Brain Idea™ that was obvious to literally everyone else.

Xbox has adopted and abandoned AI in the amount of time I stopped playing, stopped paying for Live, and will maybe start again. (eta: if I don’t find something else that has 3D VR).

Weird, that.

Again, I meant for profit companies, like Nintendo.

Volunteer led orgs are different. Particularly those run by socialists.

e: most volunteer/socialist orgs don’t have ‘customers’.

I wasn’t justifying it. Perhaps that came across the wrong way.

They’re selling shit they never asked their users for and that’s bullshit, and should be illegal. Especially with children’s data.

My point was they’re doing it.

I’ve been in software design and development for decades. Sorry, but you are wrong.

The reason these companies are so profitable is because they sell your data.

Whales are fine, but that’s not their only revenue stream. People freely give up their data to them and that’s stupidly valuable. If you think these companies aren’t selling it, you’re very naive.

And to be clear, you’re saying this in response to an article pointing out they’ve been selling your data.

Yeah, I didn’t think I needed to make clear I meant with for profit companies like Nintendo.

Yeah, but many players don’t pay, especially the huge player bases of children. They can subsidise that by selling your data.

Nothing is free. All free services are using your data somehow.

If you’re not the customer, you’re the product.

In this case, it was mostly children’s data.

Oh, if it matters, I also run Memory Clean 2 to monitor RAM usage and do Extreme Clean from time to time.

I forgot about this because it’s basically muscle memory at this point, but maybe this is making a difference?

As of right now with just Sibelius, Scrivener, and about 40 browser tabs (no Adobe), I have 2.01 GB free.

e: I downvoted my original comment since it’s now occurred to me that this app may be why my machine isn’t struggling.

Yeah, I’m not sure about Tahoe since my machine is too old so it won’t let me upgrade, but at least Sequoia has been fine with 8GB.

Sequoia.
